Ole Miss makes a move for Ricky Dixon

Ricky Dixon (WR, New Orleans, LA) - Scout.com's #36 nationally
took an official visit to the University of Mississippi this past weekend.We
called to see how his visit went.

The following information was revealed
during our interview with Ricky Dixon:

Did you make it in for
your official visit? "I went to Ole Miss this weekend - I just left there."

How
did you like Ole Miss? "It was real nice - I learned a lot about Ole Miss
even though I went to summer camp there."

Did anyone accompany you?
"I went with my girlfriend, Jana."

How did Jada like
Ole Miss? "She liked Ole Miss too. She's a freshman at LSU right now, but
said Ole Miss was cool."

Who was your host? "Taye Biddle was
my host. Taye was cool. He took me all over campus and out to eat. We had fun.
He told me all about playing in the SEC as a WR and playing at Ole Miss."

What
did you learn about Ole Miss during your trip? "I learned that Ole Miss needs
wide receivers really bad. I learned a lot about the academic support people and
how academics are important there. I also got to know the coaches better. Coach
O and Coach (Frank) Wilson are my two favorites. Both are great guys."

What
stood out the most about Ole Miss during your trip? "What I liked most was
the chemistry I built with the coaches. They made me feel at home."

How
did your meeting with Coach Orgeron go? "Coach O was great. I like him a
lot. He didn't try to pressure me. He told me he wanted me there and told me his
plans for me, but it was my decision. There was no pressure and that was a good
thing for me."

What did you two discuss? "All the coaches kept
stressing the lack of WRs at Ole Miss and how I would fit in. Early playing time
is important to me and I can see that at Ole Miss."

Where does Ole
Miss now stand in your pecking order? "Ole Miss is very high on my list.
I also have LSU and Florida up there."

Where do you go next? "I
visit LSU next weekend and then I will talk to Florida and set up something in
January with them. LSU has a lot of depth and a lot of young receivers on their
roster, but I don't mind competing. You have to compete anywhere you go in college,
but I have in the back of my mind that Ole Miss affords me a great chance to get
on the field early. We'll see."
